The Eduard EX656 U-2A mask is specially designed for the 1/48 scale reconnaissance aircraft model U-2A by AFV Club. This is a high-quality modeling accessory that significantly simplifies precise painting of cockpit windows and other transparent parts in plastic models.

The U-2A is a legendary reconnaissance aircraft used by the United States Air Force since the 1950s. This aircraft played a key role in monitoring situations during the Cold War. Among its many missions, the U-2A was used for the famous reconnaissance flight over the USSR in 1960, when pilot Gary Powers was shot down during a spy mission.

The Eduard EX656 mask is made of high-quality self-adhesive foil, ensuring exceptional accuracy in replicating the shapes of individual transparent segments. It allows effortless masking of even the most complex windows and other clear elements. Using this accessory guarantees sharp demarcation lines and clean paint edges, eliminating the risk of paint seeping under the mask.
